    And, on topic, Dave’s 11 has been playing for my commute this week.
    To think that back in the day I knew nothing from 72 other than the old E72 album.
    It’s like I was living in a drab, sepia toned world and I have been transported into a technicolor dream.

    The Other One has a few moments where things aren’t quite smooth, but overall it is excellent. Phil keeps playing the Elastic Ping Pong riff but nobody is coming along. I think this is one of the earliest examples, so the others may not be ready for it.

    Good thing that >90% of my music is on LPs and CDs and not hard drives. I mean, sure, there could be a house fire, but....

    I know nothing of drives and servers. I pretend that it's still 2001 and play CDs and rekkids.

    Ooooh I didn't know about this. Thanks for the tipoff. I'm actually gonna look into this!

    I am so screwed if any of my drives die. I - at the time of getting them - couldn't afford backups.

    I can afford to get dvds though! That's a good idea that dumb me hadn't thought about - backing up onto disc.


    See, what format to go for is a problem for me anyways as I've got several 4tb drives - EACH of which is full or within a couple gigabytes (less than 100) of being full.

    I'd just go for another larger drive but....at what point do you go "hold up" :p

    I finally streamed the 88 minutes of Dead.net Listening Party stuff from the first four shows today. Really good and really good sound too. Dang, I may have to get this after all.

    The question is: do I really need $170 worth of Touch-head era GD added to my collection?

    Maybe.

    All this talk about drives, on my drive I've been listening to the Aoxomoxia 50th anniversary, mostly the live stuff, though I'm in a drive through line right now blasting Whats Become of the Baby...

    Are your windows down? The other cars in the drive-through line probably think that you're getting ready to conduct a seance at your place. :uhhuh::evil::biglaugh:

    Not often at all.

    But still. It sounds great (unlike many of the tapes from that era) and is played well.

    Thank you. I don't listen to anything except on my ipods really, so I probably don't need it...

    How often do we listen to anything? They have like 2500 shows.

    Except you and the Fall '74 Winterland shows, of course.

    I agree with dzhason & ianuaditis that it's a slowed-down Feelin' Groovy jam, with a very different rhythm in the inspiration of the moment. (Kind of like Kooper & Bloomfield's slowed-down Feelin' Groovy.) I don't think they played it quite like this any other time, but in fall '69 they'd just started doing the Feelin' Groovy bit in Dark Star, and if you compare, say, the Dark Stars from 10/25, 11/7 and 11/8/69, the Feelin' Groovy sections are more raw, unformed, and unpredictable than they would become by December '69 -- it was still an infant jam that could grow in different directions.
    I also agree with ianuaditis that in these early days it was a cousin to the Uncle John's jam (before that become a song) -- they are kind of twin-sister jams that split apart soon after birth.
    As late as 1972 Feelin' Groovy could still vary quite a bit between performances -- I know you've heard the 4/14 and 11/13/72 Dark Stars where it's played insanely fast, but then there's also something like 10/2/72 when it comes in the jam before Morning Dew and they delightfully dance around it for a while:
